^ Perl 6 Sponsors and Supporters (Thanks!!)

Please do whatever you can to help "The Perl Foundation"<http://perlfoundation.org/> find more sponsors and supporters for Perl 6 and Parrot development.

Also known as "@Larry", and led by "Larry Wall"<http://www.wall.org/~larry/>, our hero and leader, the inventor of Perl. AKA "TimToady" on IRC #perl6 (derives from ""TIMTOWTDI"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_is_more_than_one_way_to_do_it>"). He has staked out the perl5-to-perl6 translator as his own project. Also overdue for a MacArthur prize.

* Nicholas Clark: Perl 5 Pumking. Also see ""People of Perl: Nicholas Clark"<http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/04/people_of_perl_nicholas_clark.html>".
* Will Coleda: The parrot project manager. Has worked on a variety of languages targeting parrot.
* "Damian Conway"<http://damian.conway.org/About_us//Bio_formal.html>: He writes the "Exegeses"<http://dev.perl.org/perl6/exegesis/>, which explain by example Larry's design documents (the "Apocalypses"<http://dev.perl.org/perl6/apocalypse/>).
* chromatic: The project secretary, a Parrot developer, and the one who argued for roles for a couple of years until Allison pointed to the traits paper. Also editor at "Perl.com"<http://Perl.com>. Read "cromatic's journal"<http://use.perl.org/~chromatic/journal/>.
* Jerry Gay: Hacks on "Parrot"<http://parrotcode.org>, [Rakudo] Perl 6 and the Parrot Compiler Toolkit (PCT). Read "Jerry's journal"<http://use.perl.org/~particle/journal/>.
* "Patrick Michaud"<http://www.pmichaud.com/>: The author of PGE, the Parrot/Perl 6 Grammar engine. He's also the Perl 6 compiler and Parrot pumpking. Read "Patrick's journal"<http://use.perl.org/~pmichaud/journal/>. Also see ""People of Perl: Patrick Michaud"<http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/05/people_of_perl_patrick_michaud.html>".
* "Allison Randal"<http://www.onyxneon.com/allison.html>: The Parrot architect. Also hacks on the Perl 6 compiler tools. She started the "Synopses"<http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/synopsis.html> with Damian.
* "Hugo van der Sanden"<http://crypt.org/hv/>: Knows more about Perl 5 internals than any one person should, which helps to make better decisions for Perl 6.
* "Audrey Tang"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Tang>: The primary force behind Pugs, the original Perl 6 compiler implementation in Haskell that targets at least four different backends, including JavaScript. Ended the long "Dark Ages" of compiler-side Perl 6 development. Spread "-Ofun" and commit bits to the masses. Also overdue for a MacArthur prize.
* "Jesse Vincent"<http://use.perl.org/~jesse>: The Perl 6 project manager. An expert at the "stick and carrot" approach to open source development.
* Richard Dice: The president of "The Perl Foundation"<http://perlfoundation.org/>.

^^ The Old Guard

These individuals contributed a great deal, but are no longer serving in their former capacities:

* [John Beppu]:
* [Herbert Breunung]: Works on the Perl 6 tutorial for this wiki and maintains the online reader bundled with docs: "Perl6::Doc".
* Andy Lester: Set up the official Perl 6, Perl 5, and Parrot wikis.
* [Conrad Schneiker]: The original instigator of this official Perl 6 wiki (and offers a $1,000 prize for a Perl 6 version of it). Scavegened much of the original content to get this wiki started, and continues to work on it. Also instigator of the perl.perl6.users newsgroup.
* Aaron Trevena:
